High School Need Listing of Photon and Particle Quantum States

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the complexities of cataloging photon and particle quantum states, highlighting that no definitive list exists due to the variability of quantum systems based on experimental conditions. Participants emphasize that the states depend on specific interactions and types of experiments, particularly in quantum computing. Key categories of quantum states mentioned include spin, angular momentum, polarization, energy level, momentum, and position. The conversation underscores the challenge of defining a comprehensive list of quantum observables.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement principles
  • Familiarity with quantum states and observables
  • Knowledge of quantum computing experiments
  • Basic concepts of spin, angular momentum, and polarization
NEXT STEPS
  • Research quantum computing experiments related to entanglement
  • Explore the categories of quantum states: spin, angular momentum, and polarization
  • Study the concept of quantum observables and their measurement
  • Investigate the role of energy levels in quantum systems
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in quantum physics, quantum computing enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of quantum states and observables.

Hi,
I am learning quantum entanglement. I am interested to create an up to date list of all known :

- Photon Quantum States
- Particle Quantum States
- Classically entagled photon states

I guess that there is an organization out there that already have this info.
If someone can point me into a link I'd appreciate it.

Once I have the list I'll be able to go over each one to better understand it.

Alternatively, I'd appreciate if people can respond with the states and I'll create my own list.

Thanks for the help!
Adam

This is much too broad a topic for a PF thread, not to mention that your request is an impossible task in any case. The possible states of a quantum system depend on what kind of experiments you are doing and what kinds of interactions are present. There is no such thing as a single list of all such states.

If you are interested in experiments involving entanglement the best place to start is probably experiments in quantum computing.

Hi Peter,

Is it reasonable to ask about the different categories of states such as spin, angular momentum, polarization, energy level... are there other major categories?

Thanks!

This still doesn't make any sense, because you're asking if there is such a thing as a listing of all observables! That is like asking for how many things we can measure or detect.

Zz.
 
OK then, I will contribute momentum and position.
 
What are the complete list of quantum Observables besides charge, position and momentum?
